Shin Megami Tensei IV’s Staff Have Worked On These Games

In their recent announcement for Shin Megami Tensei IV’s Summer release in North America, Atlus mentioned that the game is being worked on by developers who have been involved with games like Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, Strange Journey, Persona and Soul Hackers.

Those are some of Atlus’ more notable games, so we decided to take a look at the staff list on Shin Megami Tensei IV’sJapanese website, to see just what the game’s lead designers have worked on in the past. You can find the translated list below. (Note that this is more of a literal translation to ensure accuracy.)

The team of designers working on Shin Megami Tensei IV is called the “Maniacs Team,” presumably due to their heavy involvement in the Maniacs edition of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (and in some cases, the original version, too).

Ishaan specializes in game design/sales analysis. He's the former managing editor of Siliconera and a contributing writer at GamesIndustry.biz. He also used to moonlight as a professional manga editor. These days, his day job has nothing to do with games, but the two inform each other nonetheless.
